Luxaphone Owner’s Manual
Introduction
The Luxaphone is a fully interactive digital electronic
instrument that contains 128 digital MIDI sound effects
and instruments ready for you to explore and experiment
with! Best of all, there is no additional equipment to lug
around; everything is contained in one easy-to-carry
package.
Interacting with the Luxaphone is easy. The resistive
touchscreen allows you to select one of 128 possible
instruments, set the volume level, vary the pitch bank, and
define the root note of any pitch bank. The diverse library
includes a host of instruments, such as stringed,
woodwind, percussion, complete orchestral sections, and
experimental sound effects.
The enclosure is outfitted with a series of 12
Red/Green/Blue Light Emitting Diodes (RGB LEDs) to
indicate the natural notes, sharp notes, and the played
notes. The RGB LEDs turn GREEN to indicate natural
notes, BLUE to indicate sharp notes, and RED to indicate
when and where a laser beam was interrupted.
This Owner’s Manual is provided to the customer in digital
and hardcopy form.
